When your ship is short staffed and underpaid people tend to get fatigued, burnt out and angry. It’s a crap environment and a lot more prone to mistakes and accidents.

That’s true but does it apply here? Do we have some reason to think it was operator error?

No, but Vail should've replaced that 48-year-old chair!

Either way it’s a still Fail's shitshow.

Well if every Riblet still in use has to be replaced, that's gonna hurt mom- and- pops than it does Vail. It may have to happen anyway. They're getting old. Who knows?
Fuck Vail

I don’t. It was just my first thought.

But yeah, F Vail!

I think this should be our version of change for a nickel. If you think you see me in a lift line, just tap me on the shoulder and say "fuck vail"

What about Peak Resorts? They bought Attitash and Wildcat a while before VR thought about buying Peak as a way to gain more locations for the NYC and New England market. Read plenty of complaints about Peak on northeast ski forums related to Attitash and Wildcat.
